Meet the future: roads that charge electric cars!

Electric cars are very good. In fact, they are better that usual cars by many characteristics. But they have one great disadvantage that puts a big fat cross on all these advantages: the small energy reserve.

Electric cars are very good. In fact, they are better that usual cars by many characteristics. But they have one great disadvantage that puts a big fat cross on all these advantages: the small energy reserve. An ordinary Tesla car has enough energy to drive about 500 km. and then it needs a recharge. And if you travel a lot in such a car, you have to make regular stops to charge your car. Though the charging stations are located not far enough from each other, the waste of time, spent for the recharge stops drivers from choosing electric cars for long distance trips.

This is how such lanes can look like

But the government of the United Kingdom came up with the idea of creating special roads that can charge the car while it is moving. The technology, used in this project is similar to the wireless charging technology that is used in mobile phones nowadays.
